Welcome to the University of South Wales

Treforrest Campus

Here at the University of South Wales we always put our students first. We offer a friendly and academically challenging environment with an excellent reputation for teaching quality, state-of-the-art study facilities and supportive staff.

With more than 33,584 students from all over the world, flexible study options and teaching excellence in more than a dozen subjects, you can study in areas from drama and music to business, computer science and engineering.

The University of South Wales has over 500 courses available, outstanding graduate employment rates and has invested £160 million into its facilities, so there’s no better time to study at the University of South Wales!

What’s on offer?

Located in the UK, in South Wales, between the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park, Cardiff, one of Europe’s most exciting capital cities and Newport, it’s a wonderful place to live.

The University of South Wales is based across five campuses: ATRiuM, a centre for creative and cultural industries, in Cardiff; Treforest and Glyntaff, both near the busy market town of Pontypridd, Newport City campus and Caerleon Campus. Cardiff is young, lively and fun while Treforest is the traditional face of Wales – friendly people, green hills and country pubs. With its fantastic location, you can enjoy the buzz of Cardiff and Newport city centres, the mountains of Brecon or the surfing off the Welsh coastline – it’s a great place to be a student!

Living on campus at Treforest means you can work and study in one place. Our students say they love the community atmosphere, and it’s great to be just 20 minutes from Cardiff. You can find out more about life on our five campuses here.
